Baby names

Boy names - feelin' blah

Hello!

In a few weeks I'm set to have a baby brother for Felix.

Feel like I've lost the plot with names - not even sure I like anything anymore...name blindness?!

I'd love any thoughts that you may have on my shortlist below - or even any suggestions of boys' names that go well with Felix? (We picked this because of the Latin roots and lovely meaning "happy and fortunate").

Stanley (husband's fave)
Arlo (I love Arlo, but it's a shame that everybody else does too right now!)
Otis (husband less keen on this)
Otto (pairs well with Felix...?)

Does anyone else feel that they're struggling to warm to any names right now?! Maybe it's because it feels like there are less boys' names out there. Nothing is tickling my fancy LOL

I find boys names really difficult!
Casper always comes to my mind as a sibling for Felix, Oscar, instead of Otto or Otis if your husband isn’t keen?
Fletcher and Felix also sound cute imo but not sure if you would want to go another F name.

God knows why but the first name I thought of was Hadrian. Roman connection I suppose.

Stanley goes best with Felix.
I have an Ezra and think it sounds great with Felix. I also know someone who has two boys called Felix and Dexter.
